User reviews

Almost pointless

We went from the watch to the phone. Initially, I thought since there’s a 2nd app, I’ll have more control options. Boy was I wrong. The app is nearly pointless. It automatically signs me out throughout the day, so when my child makes video calls, the call fails until I sign in again. I’m disappointed with the lack of parental control that the app provides for the phone. With the watch app, I was able to lock it at bedtime. With this, I have to remember to take the phone at night so my kid isn’t using it after bedtime. Overall, there’s very little control for the parent and it will not connect to Google parental controls.

So many issues

We got gabb phone for our daughters first phone experience. It has been two years and the issues that have been from the beginning are still issues. Video calling is poor quality video with connection hit and miss. Flagged messages are ridiculous. We report that the flagged messages are not inappropriate and it doesnt matter. The phones battery life is horrible. We have about a month for the 2 year contract to end, and we say god riddance to Gabb and it's services or lack of services. I wanted this to be a good experience for us, but it's been more headache than helpful.

Review

They cut out a lot and the connection isn’t great and I wish they had screen sharing

It says I am a parent

This app took me forever to call my friend and when it did work it only worked for like one day I keep deleting the app and then adding it again but it always says I am a parent

Doesn’t work

This app is garbage and doesn’t work. The parental controls on the phone 4 simply don’t work.
